The lawmakers had reached Kabul Sunday to meet their Afghan counterparts.

“The embassy officials have taken good care of us,” a Pakistani parliamentarian said.

“We can hear incessant sound of shelling,” she added.

“Pakistani embassy is safe from Taliban attacks but the security clearance will be required before leaving the embassy premises,” the women lawmakers said. “We hope that we will get clearance within two hours.”

A total of 47 people were killed and some 65 wounded in Kabul after the terrorist attack, with embassies and foreign military bases coming under fire in what the Taliban said was the start of its spring offensive.
